Description
This dataset describes the presence and depth of actual acid sulfate and potential acid sulfate in soils of the estuarine and floodplain environments of Darwin Harbour, Bynoe Harbour, Shoal Bay, Adelaide River, Fog Bay and Finniss River over approximately 3,350km of Northern Territory coastline. The survey was mapped at a scale of 1:50,000.

Data Quality
Lineage:Map unit boundaries derived from existing digital datasets over the study area. Linework refined for edgematching purposes and where necessary in other locations using satellite imagery. polygon information captured in Arc Info. Field site soil and landform data collected to national standard at time of capture.
Positional Accuracy:POLYGON DATA Map unit boundaries digitised on screen directly from the best available imagery at the time. Level of accuracy dependent on the accuracy of linework captured in the past. Improvement to linework with new imagery.Control points include topographic features and cadastre. Positional accuracy considered high but may vary. Linework generally derived from existing 1:25 000 data and published at 1:50 000 so accuracy is considered high at 1:50 000. Site point coordinates derived from a geographic positioning system with general accuracy of within 10-50m. Site coordinates and data captured in SALInfo (NT Government Soil and Land Information System).
Attribute Accuracy:Attribute accuracy considered high for Darwin Harbour but information outside this area is reconnaisance only.

Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in linework. Using ESRI ArcInfo, topological consistency checks were performed to detect flaws in the spatial data structure.
The coverage was cleaned to eliminate any duplicate arcs and built for arcs and polygon topologies. A label errors routine was run to detect unlabelled polygons and also to locate any identical neighbouring mapunit labels. A node errors routine was run to identify any pseudo nodes and dangles.
The checks ensure that all polygons are closed, nodes are formed at intersections of lines and that each polygon has only one label.
